It’s been a fascinating opportunity to rebuild an engineering organization from the inside, and I’m loving every minute. We’re introducing a lot of cutting-edge software development practices, such as self-organizing vertically-scaled teams and Extreme Programming. Culture doesn’t change easily. It tends to snap back.

Think in terms of modern software development which mostly involves receiving data, transforming it, and sending it to the next part of the system. Different programming, domain, and business languages add to our cognitive complexity. Any ambiguity in the requirements will lead to ambiguity in the implementation.

Test automation is one of the practices that helps teams gain confidence earlier in the development process. It reduces the cost of testing and supports keeping long-term, high-development velocities. This results in a steadily-growing set of tests becoming part of the development cycle. Independent. Repeatable. Self-validating.
